Nick stared at James and he nodded his head as the full acceptance showed on his face. "You're right. I've been fool. I didn't see the most logical conclusion to all of this. The enemy wasn't far away he was staring right next to me whispering in my ear. You're right. Let's get it to then."
James clapped his hands and a whiteboard appeared behind him. He snapped his fingers and eight thrones appeared in a circle around them. "Brothers of the night. Grab a seat. Nick. Grab your wand and give me the first name." He said.
Angus walked over to throne and sat down. The others followed suit. He glared at nothing. Nick, James and Axe were the only ones standing.
Nick took out his wand and walked over to the board. He hesitated for a few moments and then he wrote down a name.
Max Hellion.
James whistled. "Wooowee. Max Hellion. I haven't heard that name in a minute.Isn't that amazing. You see that name, dad on that board? You want me to blow that name up!"
"Yeah. Yeah. I see just find from here no need to blow it up. What are the other names Nick?" Angus said.
Nick sighed. "I have an explanation. Though it's not a solid one." He said.
"I don't want to hear it." Angus said immediately. "I want every name you have got in your mind on that board." He said.
Axe stepped up and brought down another name. There was some noise. James stared at the name. "He's been talking to a few of us about the possible dangers you are posing to the world." He said.
"Barney McClarion! Hmm. That is interesting. I know that name from somewhere." James said and tapped his finger to his chin.
"Barney was one of schoolmates from school. The little shit was always a shit starter in the past." Angus said in gruff voice. "I need a butter beer." He said.
James waved his hand a bottle of cold butter beer appeared in their hands. He snapped his fingers and the caps flew off the bottles.
Axe made a face at him. "Showing off aren't you little brother." He said before downing the butter beer.
James took a drink and sighed while Nick stared at him. He nodded to Nick's drink. "You don't like butter beer?"
"I do. Thanks. How long have been hiding your growth?"
"Sense the day I met you. I've only been getting stronger but again I'm nowhere near as strong as you or my dad. How more names do you Axe have." He said.
Axe shook his head. "No. Just that name only." He said.
James looked at Nick but Nick was already moving toward the board and then wrote down two names and stepped back. "Ron Wesley. Jacob Wild." He said.
Nick looked at him. "Do you recognize the names?" He said.
James took his wand and circled the three names on the board and left a question mark on Jacob Wild. "I know three names. Jacob Wild is the only name I don't know. Who is he?" He asked.
Nick frowned. "He's a former student of mean. He's coming up in the congress. Along with a few other young individuals. This all still doesn't make any sense. What do you know of the dark Lord from Harry Potter." He said.
There was a sudden hush of a surprise. James tapped a finger to his bottle of butter beer. "Grandpa Harry said he came over here from his earth realm. He was chasing the dark lord and his people when Grandpa Harry's family were all killed off. He has been hunting him for years trying to draw him out. Personally, I don't think he's alive anymore. It's been about thirty years. If you couldn't find him by now there could be only one answer to it to why?" He said.
Nick straightened up looking at the names on the board. "Of course. He must have died off a long time ago and then lift his shadow kingdom in the hands successors. So where does that leave us?" He said.
James took a drink and looked at Axe. The other man was smiling at him. "We probably won't be able to dismantle a kingdom without a single head. We've wasted a whole lot of time. The best we can do is handle this generation of dark lords apart of the leadership. We won't be able to take out all of them." He said.
"Doesn't matter." Angus said finishing off his bottle and setting it down beside his throne. We've got four names on the board. Three of them are old enough to have more then enough blood on their hands. I say we settle with the enemy know now and leave the new dark lords for James and his generation to deal with." He said coming to his feet.
James finished off his bottle and the bottle disappeared from his hand replaced by another bottle. He looked around at the others. "Anybody else want another drink." He said.
Everyone raised a hand. James with raise of his hand their bottles refilled with bottle beer. Angus patted his shoulder. "Son. Why don't you show the others around the buildings and have them walking around." He said.
James started to say something but he turned his head when he felt something was off. "Dad. I got go check something." He said.
"Go on James." Nick said. "We'll be waiting for your return. We have some plans to discuss and you'll have to give us a tour of Neo Camelot." He said.
'Yeah. Give me a second." He said before disappearing and arriving in library. Dago was sitting on the floor with Mara standing over Bellatrix. Mara had a grim expression on her face with her wand pointed down at Bellatrix who was on the floor.
Bellatrix lay very still with dark purple energy coming up from her body. He stepped over her body and looked at the whiteboard at the picture graphs on the whiteboard mixed with spells.
"James! We have to address this!" Mara said grabbing his arm and attempting to turn her toward him.
James shook his head. "Let me guess. She went crazy suddenly her eyes turned purple or black and then she started attacking you and Dago but then she screamed and fell to the floor and the situation was defused." He said.
Mara let go of his arm. "You knew. No. Of course you knew. You told me you had prepared this kind of thing already. So the collar and bracelets are not training devices but a means to lease her like a dog. So she doesn't hurt Dago or anyone else?" She said.
"James. What the hell man. You can't treat her like an animal." Dago said.
James shook his head. "No. That isn't at all. I told you what the devices were and their purpose. Can I explain it to you later. It's only only going to take me to long to explain it and I'll have to write it all down on the board. It's going to take to much time. Dago. I was expecting you to arrive in Camelot with us?" He said staring at the picture graphs.
"James! What the hell? We're not stupid." Mara said.
Dago took her arm and looked at her shaking his head. "Let it go Mara. He's right it's going to take us time to long to understand him. His mind is moving ten steps ahead." He said.
"James. Are you telling me I'm to dumb to explain it to me in simply terms?" Mara asked.
"No. I'm saying you're not going to accept a simple answer and I'm losing the ability to explain things in simple enough terms that would satisfactory for you. I don't have a strong talent for it anymore Mara. I'm not trying to be mean to you or Dago. I just need time to learn how to explain things I know by instinct now. I will explain it's just it will literally take me to long to explain and I need the free time to explain it. Right now we don't have the time." He said calmly.
"Mara." Dago said. "I simple terms. James knows what Bellatrix is so he knows how to handle her and how to do so the best effect way without murdering her. James is this correct?!" He said.
"Yes." James said and smiled and then gave Dago a fist bump. "You really are a genius." He said.
"Straight up. That's why you keep me around. Someone has to balance things out in this group." Dago said.
Mara looked at Dago. "How the hell do you understand all this. Don't start telling me your some kind super genius like James." She said.
Dago shook his head. "No. I'm a regular genius that understands I can't comprehend how his brain sees patterns at a fast pace rate. I just remember he told us from the jump that he was going to handle her." He said.
Mara stared at James profile. "No. No. Don't be sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." She said.
"Mara!" James said.
Mara held up a hand. "No. What's the question on your mind?' She asked. She looked at him. "No. I'm over it. I don't have or need a big ego about it. We've got to move effectively and succeed in stage three now. Let's go!" She said.
James smiled. "Alright. Let's go! Okay I get the big interruption that came from Bellatrix's stupid outburst. That still shouldn't have stopped Dago from launching this thing into the skies. I had to come up with a back up plan in the creation process upstairs." He said.
Dago folded his arms across his chest. "I don't know mate. Something or someone cancelled out the library launching up into the sky realm dimension. There was a stalling effect afterwards as I was coming up with additional ideas and then Bellatrix had a shit fit and here we are." He said.
James smiled. "Dago's eye." He said.
Dago frowned at him. "What about it? How can that help us?" He said and then his eyes moved and he smiled. He whistled and suddenly Bellatrix came awake at the same time Dago's blue snitch flew into the room and to his hand.
"Hello little buddy. I need you to show me if you noticed any intruders into my library." He asked.
The blue snitch came to life again and flew around the room and several images of moments in the past.
"Dago! I didn't meet hurt you." Bellatrix said.
Dago only looked at James. "Sending her back to her room mate. We've got some work to do." He said.
James nodded waving his hand Bellatrix disappeared. They both stared at him. He frowned. "What?!" He asked.
Mara sighed and she looked around to a froze image of one person in the library. The man was dressed in a black cloak searching through the bookshelves searching for something while Bellatrix suddenly started to go crazy.
Dago pointed at the magic window. "Dago's Eye. Freeze that image." He said.
The memory image froze on his command. They stared at it as it floated closer toward them and they examined the image of the man.
"James! Do you know him?" Dago asked him.
James frowned at the image of the man but shook his head. "Hell no. I was expecting someone else to arrive here to cause trouble. I don't know this dude." He said.
"I do though." Angus said.
They jumped back as Angus moved forward touched the image. He nodded his head. "That is my old school buddy Barney McClarion. Hello. It's been more then twenty years sense I've seen this shit head." He said nodding his head. He looked at Dago. "This is good work Dago. Now we have a sure lead on who to hunt after first." He said.
James folded his arms across his chest. "You haven't seen this dude in over twenty years. Why is he showing up now of all times." He said.
"Dago's eye. Play memory." Dago said.
The past memory started to play. Barney was searching fast looking for something in a particular bookshelf and then he froze when he had a leather bond in his hands. He then quickly waved his wand and replaced the book with copy in place and disappeared and then screen went blank.
"Dago! Remind it back bro and freeze it at the image he had the book in his hands." James asked.
"Dago's eyes go back to that previous memory and freeze it when at the second the intruder had the memory." Dago said.
The image played backward and froze at the moment the moment. They frowned at the image. Angus frowned because the image wasn't close enough on the image. He started to speak but Dago moved forward touching the image of the memory. The image moved closer on the image focusing on the book.
Dago frowned at it. "Hmm. Magical enchanted items of legends. Hmm. Why a book on magical enchanted items?" He said.
Angus shook his head. "I don't know but I think Nick or others might know something. Dago. If you can. I want you to run a complete search of everything that's happened in the library for the last forty-eight hours. James. I need you to put a shield around your friend and Mara when their in the library. We need to talk with Nick and the others about this now and get a game plan going." He said.
